Description
The Agilent Technologies E1416A Power Meter is a C-size,
1-slot, message-based VXI module. It is a high-
performance, single-channel, programmable, average power
meter compatible with the Agilent 8480 family of
thermocouple and diode power sensors.
This power meter makes accurate and reliable average
power measurements. With its powerful programming
capability, exceptional accuracy and reliability, it lets you
measure your test signal with speed, precision, and
confidence!
